The fleet applications determine what is applied to the vehicle. The taxis come equipped with a standard yellow over blue paint job, roof mounted taxi sign, fare meter, and CB radio. The police models are either painted in black and white for [[LSPD]] use, an unmarked variant, or white for Blaine County Sheriffs. These all come equipped with standard LED or rotating light bars (excluding the unmarked cruiser), front and rear windshield mounted LED emergency lighting (the Sheriff's Cruiser does not come with front windshield lighting), a pushbar with LED strobes, flashing taillights, sirens, spotlights (non functional), CB radio, and a cage.

Design

GTA IV

The Stanier is based primarily on the 1992-97 Ford Crown Victoria with some influences from the 1998-2011 model. The Crown Victoria was a popular vehicle for police and taxi applications due to its body-on-frame construction, rear wheel drive layout, and V8 powertrain.

Unlike the DeclasseMerit or the BravadoBuffalo, there is no civilian counterpart of this sedan in GTA IV; this may have been done as Ford ended civilian retail of the Crown Victoria following the 2007 model year.

Regardless of its application, the fleet version of the Stanier features a front pushbar, CB radio equipment, and black wheels with chrome center caps. Law enforcement models additionally have a police computer, roof-mounted lightbars, and a spotlight mounted on the driver's side. The taxi variants have a rear pushbar, fare meter, taxi lights and markers, and a hood-mounted taxi medallion; some taxis may also have roof-mounted advertising.

Performance

GTA IV

The Stanier is powered by a 4.6L V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, and the top speed is above average and its braking and suspension are very good. Crash deformation is good, and the vehicle can sustain multiple frontal impacts before failing.

GTA V

The Stanier's performance is a near cross over from GTA IV, however the suspension has been re-worked to be more supportive and allows the Stanier to remain more stable under hard cornering and quick maneuvering in traffic.
